Shedding Some Light?

May the 4th be with you?

I guess.

Hearing that just gets me upset because I remember when Star Wars meant something, that is, before Disney went and fucked up that entire universe.  Now Star Wars is a mere shell of its former self.  Star Wars is a damn laughingstock.  Star Wars is just terrible.  Disney is just as terrible, if not more so, but this entry isn’t about Disney and how fucking terrible they are as a company.  At most, I’ll just say this.

Fuck Disney. 

I’m not even a Star Wars fan.  I’d be even less of a Star Wars fan given how Disney came in and did all that damage to the franchise.

All right.  Now, onto this entry, without any further mention of how shitty Disney is.

It rained for a good chunk of the day today.  As I write this, the rain has stopped, though it remains quite cold.  I figured that I’d enjoy the rain and the accompanying cold because it’s only a matter of time before that summer heat becomes a thing and everyone around me starts bitching about how hot it is.

I worked again this weekend and tried to be productive on the professional front.  Business as usual for me really.  I could’ve been more productive, but I was just kind of going through the motions and did what I could.  My Saturday was marred by people in the office.  Typically, there is only a handful of people in the office and I’m used to that.  Yesterday, I’m estimating that there was about a dozen people there and it threw me off of my game.  It’s not that these people are loud or directly annoying to me.  The problem is that when I get into the office at just before 5am, the lights are usually off.  I like to turn all of the lights on because I’m going into an office, not a bedroom, summer camp, or anywhere else where people might be sleeping, I like to see where I’m going and what I’m doing.  For whatever the reason, the majority of the people who work in that office are ridiculously sensitive to the fluorescent light that emanates from the ceiling and because of this light sensitivity, there is this tendency to want to keep the lights off during the day, even well after the sun has come out.  Way too many people in that office have some kind of shade at their cubicle, specifically designed to block the office lights from hitting them and from lighting their cubicles.

As far as my logic goes, if you are sensitive to the office lighting, your cubicle should already have one of those god-awful and unsightly light shades preventing the light from hitting you and your overly sensitive eyes.  Since you have this shade already installed or placed at your cubicle, you are now protected from the light, which means that should someone turn the office lights on, you are protected and those lights shouldn’t bother you anymore.

Apparently, this does little to stop people from still wanting the lights to be off and for a good part of my morning in the office yesterday, I was left to sit in a mostly dark office, even with the windows open.  There was some overcast yesterday, so even with the windows open, there wasn’t much natural light coming from outside.

After about five hours, I had had enough of the mostly dim (both with the lights, as well as the people who were there refusing to turn on the office lights) office environment and I left.  I finished my overtime at home, in peace, but also in a space where I was able to enjoy all the damn lighting I wanted.  Fuck being light sensitive.  My co-workers are so weak, especially when it comes to something as simple as light.

I didn’t do much gaming.  In fact, beyond the work stuff, I didn’t do much else this weekend.  I guess I relaxed more than anything else.  With as much as I work during the week and on Saturdays, I suppose I needed it.  I’m not complaining, at least not about how much I was able to relax today.

I thought I had more to write, but that whole light situation wore me out.  It wore me out because it was just so fucking dumb and really, it should have never been a thing in the first place.

Well, we’re going to see what the coming week has in store.  As has been the case of late, I am not optimistic.

I’m just hoping that the light thing doesn’t become a damn thing again.
